Density Estimation for RWRE

Аннотация

We consider the problem of nonparametric density estimation of a random environment from the observation of a single trajectory of a random walk in this environment. We build several density estimators using the beta-moments of this distribution. Then we apply the Goldenschluger-Lepski method to select an estimator satisfying an oracle type inequality. We obtain non-asymptotic bounds for the supremum norm of these estimators that hold when the RWRE is recurrent or transient to the right. A simulation study supports our theoretical findings.
